The Restoration Center One place, instead of a jail cell or an emergency room.

Opened in 2008 with a simple mission: a one-stop shop to treat people in crisis so they could stay out of jails and emergency rooms. It has been Bexar County’s answer ever since.

100,000+ Bexar County residents diverted from emergency rooms and jail cells into treatment
$96M+ saved for Bexar County taxpayers
1,400+ people connected to care every month

What is inside the building

The Restoration Center houses programs that help people regain control of their sobriety and transform their lives, with safe and effective substance use treatment, short-term residential assistance, and long-term integrated physical and mental health support.

For law enforcement and first responders

Our goal is fast service delivery: to take the individual, inebriant, or emergency detention off your hands, or provide medical attention to a prisoner, so officers can get in, out, and back into service quickly. If you have an intoxicated person on your hands, an emergency detention, or an injured prisoner who needs medical attention — bring them here.

No need to call ahead

Officers can bring someone directly to 601 N. Frio St. For questions:

(210) 246-1300

The Restoration Center cannot take

  • Violent individuals
  • Juveniles
  • People who are seriously injured or suspected of an overdose — EMS needs to transport them to the nearest emergency room
